Terror attack on plane

[Ashy]

Makes a change from "who ate the fish?".

How did people reach the cockpit if the plane was nose-diving?This question was put to a commercial pilot .
His answer

" Nose dive does not mean the jet was vertical. It was pitched down, not at 90 degrees. That attitude doesn't pin you in your seat. It throws you forward, toward the cockpit. If you get up, you're not fighting the dive.
You're being shoved down the aisle faster."

It didn't start to dive until he was being dragged out of the cockpit.  Watching the eye witness account explains the sequence of events.

And no disturbance in the cabin, lockers open no luggage in the aisle, passengers belongings not scattered anywhere, catering trolleys not tipped over and no oxygen masks deployed? 

[Scrumpy]

The pilot is a hero.. 
Book... film... !!!! 
  I hope he makes a few bob.. It is about time someone with a REAL story to tell ' says it all'..

They have a special area at Manchester Airport, separate from the rest of the aircraft.  Can't imagine why 😬😬😬

I hope so too.
But real heros are often modest .
At this time I just hope he survives his injuries .

Did you know that it is no coincidence that no known language does the phrase, "As pretty as an airport" appear.
Someone clever said that.

Another question to a real pilot .

"Why didn't the oxygen masks drop?"

His answer

"That only happens in films .
Masks don't fall because something scary happened. They deploy only if cabin pressure drops. A steep descent, even a violent one, does not automatically dump cabin pressure. No pressure loss, no masks. Simple as that."

Sky news Australia were wrong footed when they interviewed this pilot .
It wasn't what they were expecting .

Makes one wonder why he waited so long after getting his wings to attempt the deed.
